Kidneys feel a little sore, or is it lower back?
Hello I'm 2 years post transplant and over the last 5 or 6 days, when I wake up I've had a dull ache towards the right hand side of my lower back. I went to see my GP yesterday and she had a little feel around and she seems to think it's muscle related but I asked for a blood test form and got that

Is This a Spider Nevi?
Is this a spider nevi near my collarbone? I’ve had one removed from near my eye and another on my ear 5 months ago and the dermatologist didn’t seem concerned and said my other Telangiectasias on my face are probably due to genetics and sun. I’m worried I might have an underlying liver disease that is

GPs 🤦♀️ WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE
There is always a presumption that I am tired and thin because I live with bronch, AF and
dilated
cardiomyopathy
. On my annual visit to my heart man my heart was no worse, my bronch is stable. I am dragging myself around and very breathless.

Fibroscan, AST/ALT ratio, and such part II
I apologize for the long post in advance... If you haven't read my previous post I've been a very heavy drinker for 12 years. I've been through withdraw, I've lost relationships, and just overall made some stupid decisions. I'm blessed in that I've managed to hold a great job and marry my beautiful wife

Scan & blood results
Hi all. Hope you’re all keeping well. So had my results yesterday finally. Alcohol related fatty liver. Blood results for liver stiffness have come back ‘slightly elevated’. Consultants said I’ve got to have a ‘special’ ( his words) scan next month to see how stiff it is! Can anyone shed any light on

Hi all. I'm post liver transplant and have been writing for british liver trust website. I've faced lots and lots of complications with big effects to my physical and mental health. It's had a big impact on my life. I've been looking for help. I've even thought about palliative residential respite

Liver abuse
Seems like after months of reading posts in here ,there is much less emphasis on losing weight, eating right, and the many medications we have to take. It’s all about the alcohol. I guess if you quit drinking, but continue to be overweight ,eat poorly, you still compromise your liver. I suppose you have

Questran
I’ve been taking Questran for five days now, to stop itching related to jaundice. Does anyone else have experience of this medication and how soon does it usually take effect? The itching is really impacting on my quality of life.

New family member of cirrhosis sufferer
Hi my husband has alcoholic cirrhosis and pretty well all the associated complications but according to him he is fine and living his life the way he wants. He gets up to go to work at 5.30 to go work to fund his habit and pay the debts. I am so depressed we have no support and he won’t go to his hospital

Tirosint users
I have been on a treatment with tirosint and cytomel. I wanted to know if anyone is taking tirosint. I had a wonderful results with the medication. I hope my success with tirosint will help someone else. I know it contains no dyes and acacia, which helps absorption.

Anaesthesia
For those for whom the matter is of any interest, I discovered that the anaesthetic used by Manchester Royal Eye Hospital is proxymetacaine (which they generally seem to just refer to as "proxy"). They do not "stock" tetracaine. I know some people, like me, are keen to know how effective the anaesthetic

Needing to talk
Last summer I was diagnosed with
dilated
cardiomyopathy
and severe heart failure. My EF was 18%. Since then I have been on an ever increasing amount of medication and although my EF rate had improved at my last scan I feel no better in myself.
